JAN. 13 – Newlyweds Matthew Johnson and Tricia Reilly had the kind of destination wedding dreams are made of – or at least their dreams. Johnson, who owns Sushi Samba, and Reilly, who works in residential real estate for Douglas Elliman, exchanged vows on the soft sands of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, before 90 family members and friends, who flew out for the exotic event. The Manhattanites celebrated their union at Charlie Trotters’ Restaurant “C,” where guests dined on pig, salmon and beef tenderloin. “The food was exquisite, with a raw bar you couldn’t believe,” says the bride. To add to the festivities, a variety of music was showcased, including a flute player, a guitarist and deejay Antares, who spun sizzling Brazilian and European tracks to get the guests on their feet.
